Almost two months ago I built my first computer, and generally I have been very happy with the experience and the end-result. However, I've been experiencing the same issue once, maybe twice, a week now and after having tried most everything I can on my own I've decided to come here for some assistance.
Basically, my problem is that I experience intermittent BSOD's, meaning I cannot effectively replicate their cause myself and, to me, they seem to happen randomly. Sometimes it's while I'm gaming, sometimes when I have Netflix running during the night, and sometimes while doing some general web browsing. The usual error code received when this happens has been "UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION", though there have been a couple others scattered about.
First off, yes, all of my drivers are up to date and I check for updates almost once a week. However, I'm not sure if the issue is hardware or software related. Normally I would try to view a minidump or offer it for review, but my system refuses to create a minidump whenever it BSOD's. The settings are set to create a minidump whenever a BSOD occurs, and its location is meant to be in the %SystemRoot%, but when I check it isn't there and my debugging tools don't find anything there either.
What I have been able to do is every other troubleshooting procedure short of repairing from a disk image, opening up the case to physically check parts, or going through a clean install. I've run chkdsk, which came back with nothing. I've run sfc, which came back with nothing. I've run memory diagnostic, which came back with nothing. Full scans by both Windows Defender and MalwareBytes come back with nothing.
If it helps at all, the games that I have experienced a BSOD during so far are:
Batman: Arkham Knight (once)
Fallout 4 (a number of times)
Mad Max (once)
Saints Row: The Third (an odd one, but again, only once)
Anyways, if anyone is able to offer up any advice or help, it would be greatly appreciated. If you need anymore information about my system or my situation, feel free to ask.
